SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. F. A. CHAPMAN, MR. A. N. BADE AND MR. E. H. L. THOMPSON 


HE present catalogue comprises the remainder of the great Collection 

4 of furniture, textiles and works of art gathered by the late 

Viscount Leverhulme—with the exception of the original drawings, prints 

and water colors, which will appear in the next catalogue. The whole 

of his rugs and carpets are included here, with many of the finest em- 
broideries. 

Mr. W. G. Thomson, the well known authority on tapestry and textiles, 
and author of “A History of Tapestry from the Earliest Times until the 
Present Day’’, writes specially: 

“The Collection of Textiles at The Hill, Hampstead, is a revelation of the 
artistic instincts of the late Lord Leverhulme and his liking for representa- 
tive specimens of the different schools... It is seldom that one sees together 
a set of Felletin hangings of such depth of colouring as Numbers 486-490. 
In the embroideries, the series of petit-point and stumpwork examples is one 
of the most extensive ever. assembled, embracing many specimens of the 
first order,—some depicting Old Testament personages, such as Jacob, in 
_ fashionable Stuart attire, while others reflect the life of the country people 
of their time. Nearly all reveal the great technical excellence attained by 
the Stuart embroideresses. Amongst the carpets is the very rare set of 
three old Irish examples in brilliant colours, Numbers 491-493.”

The following Egyptian Antiquities were purchased by Lord Leverhulme 
at the dispersal of the Collection of the late Colonel Evans, of Merle, Slin-

Period” being, of course, much later (30-400 A.D.)
